Gunna experiment here with something fun and a bit new. I was scrounging around and found some acrylic sheets and some plumbing fittings and decided to make a 1 gallon mini cube DT. It will have water pumped from the sump of my main tank into this one then back though the bulkhead and will be mounted on the wall next to the main DT. Now the question is, should I make this into a small single red mangrove refuge (which would increase nutrient export and increase copopods which equals more food for the ruby red dragonet), or make this into a really cool little zoa/paly mini tank... I'm split between the two.

Selling my 15.8 gallon (60 liter) Sera Bio Cube. Used as a saltwater reef tank until I robbed the corals to put in my 75 I finally have up and running. Now it's just a fowler with a few fish and I don't have time to keep up on both tanks. $350 obo with stand (not willing to separate stand and tank- I have no use for either w/out the other). Stand has enough room for an additional standard 10 gallon below w/cut out for plumbing. Some pics are of its 'glory days' as a mixed reef tank. THESE PICS SHOW WHAT THIS TANK CAN BE... NOT what you are buying. I am selling tank with live rock and sand (structure shown in last pic). Optional/additional purchase of mated pair of black clowns who currently inhabit tank but are over sized for it. Please PM me with questions as I may not see them on the main thread. Pick up in Coos Bay. Delivery options may be discussed. Throwing in any and all extras I have including a koralia nano 240 powerhead, finnex (I think) titanium heater with digital display, live rocks and sand, magnetic algae scraper, and whatever else I have for the tank.
PLEASE NOTE: Chinese led used to light tank when corals present... however the included light in hood is a t5 and needs replaced if coral growth is desired. Bulb is 4 years old and costs approx $30 from manufacturer for replacement. Bulb is sufficient for fowler.
TEXT 541-404-7216 FOR PICS... I couldn't upload them from my phone at the moment.

90 Gallon custom made Envision Acrylics cube tank. For those that don't know, Envision makes about the best acrylic tanks money can buy.
Mine has a black back and bottom (I went barebottom), and a full-width overflow set up for a bean-animal style overflow with dual returns.
I am including a custom built stand, all furniture grade maple, stained black. Have a matching canopy as well. All bulkheads, valves and unions needed for the overflow are included as well, with enough extra plumbing that you can just connect it and go.
Everything is in very good condition. I took care to never scratch the tank and you will find that its almost entirely scratch free. Pretty much like new condition.
Asking $700 for the full setup. The tank alone cost more than that and the stand/canopy was about $400.

I have decided that my time is up. Really just not paying attention to the tank anymore and not giving it the attention that it needs.
This is a turn-key setup. It has everything you need to get up and running.
Looking to sell as a package right now, not parting out.
It is a 90 gallon custom tank from Envision with a semi-rimless setup. You can see what that means from the pics. I just hate seeing the water line in rimless tanks, so I decided to build an open-top, semi rimless tank. With the sump and refugium, the total system volume is around 90+75+45 = 210 gallons.
The whole setup is about 3 years old.
Here is a list of the equipment that is included (most of it has the original boxes):
- 90 gallon custom Envision cube. Has the BeanAnimal overflow setup, external. Black back.
- Custom furniture-grade stand and canopy made from first quality maple. Stained black.
- 75 gallon glass sump - drilled for return pump
- 45 gallon glass refugium - drilled with redundant drains to drain to sump
- 15 gallon top of tank - drilled to be quick drained to sump, if needed
- 15 gallon saltwater change tank
- SKIMZ SM 202 Monzter E-Series - External Protein Skimmer w/MJ feed pump (Purchased Jan 2014)
- 2 Reef Breeders Photon16 LED lights w/hanging kit (Purchased Jan 2014) (I think the ramp up to only about 65%)
- Vortec MP-40W ES
- Reeflo Dart Hybrid pump - Can be a dart or a snapper by changing the impeller (return pump)
- Two eductors on the returns to help with flow.
- 2 TLF reactors with MJ 600 feed pumps
- Bulk Reef Supply RO/DI setup
- BRS RO/DI booster pump
- AutoTopOff.com auto top off system with solenoid
- (2) MJ 1200s with propeller kits (1 for mixing kalkwasser in top off, the other for mixing new water)
- Sybon Refractometer
- (5) Eheim heaters
- Ranco 1 stage temp Controller with temp Probe
- (3) American DJ Power Strips
- tons of plumbing and valves, etc.
- box of Kent Sea Salt to get you started
- Test kits for everything you need
- Enough home-made seafood mash to feed them for a year
- over 200 pounds of live rock between the tank and fuge
- (2) 40 gallon Brute cans drilled with valve, 1 with float valve for water changes, etc.
Here is the Livestock in the tank right now:
- Yellow Tang (4")
- Blue Hippo Tang (4")
- Bangai Cardinal (2")
- Matted Filesfish (2") - he lives in the refugium, haven't seen him in a while
-A few peppermint shrimp (1-7, not sure how many)
- various snails, crabs,
- tons of caulerpa
- various mushrooms, leathers and soft corals and other corals. Huge GSP Covered rock
I am asking $2500 for all of it. The tank and stand alone set me back about $1300. The SKIMZ was another $530 and the LEDS were another $630. Those three pieces pretty much cover the cost of the tank. Add in the vortech, various other tanks, heaters, reeflo ranco, etc, and this is at least $4500 in equipment alone.
The Sump room that you see in the pics was designed such that it can be removed from my garage in more or less one piece. It is fully epoxy-lined ($500+) and water proof. It has a drain and a vent to exhaust the air. If you are interested in that, we can work something out.
Looking to sell as a package right now, not parting out.
